The expression “Don’t judge a book by its cover” should never apply to cupcakes. While these mudslide cupcakes are tasty, their cover (a sweet Baileys Irish Cream whipped cream) is the exceptional part. In fact, several tasters said that they would have been happy to eat a big bowl of the whipped cream sans cupcake.

You’ll see in the video at the bottom of this post (if you are the video watching type) that Bride and Groom 3.0 found the mudslide cupcakes to be a bit dry. I say that if you have the cupcakes with a big bite of the Baileys whipped cream and perhaps a sip of coffee with some more of the whipped cream on top, you’ve got yourself a moist and memorable morning treat.

Baileys Irish Cream Whipped Cream Recipe

The Baileys Irish Cream whipped cream frosting is such an important part of this cupcake that I am putting the frosting recipe first!

This video not only contains the mudslide cupcake review but also some marital advice involving bodily functions. I think it may be the first time the f-word has been used on this site (the one that rhymes with heart – did you think I meant the one that rhymes with luck?).

Happy 2010!

I want to take a moment at the end of this long post to wish all of my readers a Happy 2010! Did you make resolutions? I’m not big on resolutions, but I’ve made one that requires no effort on my part:If I win Birdie’s Resolution Contest, I will get a cute new blog design in 2010. Wish me luck!

I loved the coffee flavor and thought it could have been even stronger. I’m also one of those people who requested vats of the BIC Whipped Cream…Could I eat it on a train, could I eat it all just plain? Could I eat it with a spoon, would it leave me in a swoon? Oh lucky me, oh happy me; I live near where the cupcakes be!

With a cupcake as delectable as that, I do not think I would be the least bit bothered if it were really “a bit dry.” Judging from the looks of it and your description of the cream topping, I would be lost in the taste of the cream alone that I would hardly pay attention to other less significant details like the moistness of the cupcake itself.

Baked these on the weekend and got rave reviews. Thanks SO much for all the fantastic ideas! A quick question for anyone who might have time: how do you make whipped cream that you can pipe and hold it’s shape like that? Mine wound up melting into a giant blob as soon as it was on. It still tasted awesome but I’d love mine to look as nice as the pictures. Thanks!

Just wanted to say I tried your Bailey’s Irish cream whipped cream and it was the amazing! I used it to top off a guinness cupcake with jameson ganache. So far I have loved all your frostings I’ve tried.

wow, thank you SOO so mucho for this and the diy baileys cream recipe. after a wonderful date night, i had a sudden baking moment and a little past 11pm, headed down to my store to pick up the spare items. wow. i couldnt wait for either to be done, so i made a makeshift baileys cream drink. leftover espresso(took user aboves advice, mainly to incorporate cocoa powder cause i dont use syrups) and a bit of melted ice cream. and some other ingrediants. albeit nothing like the coffee with the finished product, not bad. and im sitting here…counting down the seconds until the muffins and heart cake are done. yours look beautiful, and i must admit, ive been staring at them for a good ten minutes.
